CLArion Nov 2024: Laws, kids, judges under scrutiny

Parliament regularly passes laws that infringe Australians’ human rights: here’s a rundown from just one recent report. As we debate whether the Senator or the King transgressed more, experts are saying new conservative governments in the north are ‘taking our kids back to the darker ages’. A judge blames everyone but judges for a low opinion of the legal system, but examples abound of how the quality of the law is much strained, particularly in the south, by judicial shenanigans.

Other highlights in this issue include:

  • Ask no questions, find no corruption: new ICAC methodology 
  • Dreyfus wants to shut Robodebt stable door: passing a HR Act will do it
  • Research body launches police ‘misbehaviour’ dashboard 
  • $100m to be wasted on wrong type of kids’ ‘jail’ system
  • Abiding by human rights helps national trade…even with World Cups
  • US judge recants: frees prisoner jailed for 5 life terms after mere 27 years
